Lyrics

Silent Spring

If all the birds have cursed the sky A flaming fortress, hunting prey A feathered bird deflowered dies The flowers die My knife has turned on life itself My skin is bathed in poison rain A room right on an empty shelf Empty shelf All the time in the world And you never changed a thing All the time in the world And you stood back and watched the silent spring Silent spring The hovering of every breath A legacy of decay infests Just let me imagine Mother Earth Mother Earth All the time in the world And you never changed a thing All the time in the world And you stood back and watched the silent spring Silent spring All the time in the world And you never changed a thing All the time in the world And you stood back and watched the silent spring The silent spring The silent spring (the silent spring) The silent spring (the silent spring) The silent spring (the silent spring) The silent spring (the silent spring) The silent spring The silent spring
